Pair of Kribs in a 10g Tank?

[Nightside_Eclipse]

Would a 10G tank be big enough for a pair of Kribs? I recently converted an old 10G w a UGF to sand and a HOB filter and am contemplating on what to put in it.

Thanks in advance!

IMO it is a bit small but it could work with good w/cs

It could possibly work out, that is until they decide to breed.

You'll need at least a 40g for a pair of kribs long term, even if you do give away the fry.

Definate no in my opinion.

Yeah a pair would be a no no.... sorry about that i didnt see you wanted a pair..

[Nightside_Eclipse]

Well.. that solves that! haha

Now to just figure out what to do with it...

[cocoa_pleco]

pair of kribs should have a 20g longterm or 15g for only breeding

A 10g with lots of plants and hiding spots would be okay for some other dwarf cichlids like Apistos. You can get a pair, but if they breed you'll have to sell or give away the fry.

Hmm.. might just go back with my original idea of trying my hand with plants and some inverts.

Apistos would work well with plants and larger shrimp.
